Overpaid and Underworked
Adam Crozier stated during the 2007 P&M dispute that Postman were under worked and overpaid. It seems that our Union agrees with that and has put it right in this agreement.

Re: Overpaid and Underworked
YEP!! and was'nt it quotes like this that infuriated us the workers and even the CWU to go ahead with striking?? And if this joke of an agreement goes through then crozier will be deemed a hero and a "job well done" and pick up his big fat bonus at the end and then fook off and ruin more working class peoples lives at another company. :cfopompeyblue wrote:Adam Crozier stated during the 2007 P&M dispute that Postman were under worked and overpaid.

Re: Overpaid and Underworked
Not overpaid, but plus 2% plus £20.60 will work out at £9.62 an hour which is better than many un or semi skilled jobs.
The main issue though must be us being increasingly over worked.

Re: Overpaid and Underworked
Minus your early start allowance and also deduct your door 2 door payments every week the bigger picture is this is not a pay rise and in line with inflation i, you, we will now be worse off than we were 5 years ago.Lounge Lizard wrote:Not overpaid, but plus 2% plus £20.60 will work out at £9.62 an hour which is better than many un or semi skilled jobs.![]()

Re: Overpaid and Underworked
I'll be losing my Network 2007 Pay Protection which is £23.55 for the 4am start
Turns out it was not protected after all.

Re: Overpaid and Underworked
I don't doubt that, and wasn't saying that I would be better off, but pay from next month, including the £20.60 Door To Door supplement, will be £9.62 an hour.ziko wrote:Minus your early start allowance and also deduct your door 2 door payments every week the bigger picture is this is not a pay rise and in line with inflation i, you, we will now be worse off than we were 5 years ago.Lounge Lizard wrote:Not overpaid, but plus 2% plus £20.60 will work out at £9.62 an hour which is better than many un or semi skilled jobs.![]()

Lounge Lizard, have you some sort of foresight to know that the deal will be accepted and RM will be paying the new rates from next month?

LL you must be in reciept of another allowance because 347.61+2%+20.60/40=£9.36/hrLounge Lizard wrote:I don't doubt that, and wasn't saying that I would be better off, but pay from next month, including the £20.60 Door To Door supplement, will be £9.62 an hour.ziko wrote:Minus your early start allowance and also deduct your door 2 door payments every week the bigger picture is this is not a pay rise and in line with inflation i, you, we will now be worse off than we were 5 years ago.Lounge Lizard wrote:Not overpaid, but plus 2% plus £20.60 will work out at £9.62 an hour which is better than many un or semi skilled jobs.![]()

It's kind of funny how some people are quick to add in the supplement to hourly rate but not so quick with ESA and D2D.
For information only my hourly rate this week would be.......£9.72
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Re: Overpaid and Underworked
Correct me if I've got it wrong, but I thought it was to be a 39 hour week so it's £347.61+2%+£20.60 / 39 = £9.62fishtank wrote:LL you must be in reciept of another allowance because 347.61+2%+20.60/40=£9.36/hrLounge Lizard wrote:I don't doubt that, and wasn't saying that I would be better off, but pay from next month, including the £20.60 Door To Door supplement, will be £9.62 an hour.ziko wrote:Minus your early start allowance and also deduct your door 2 door payments every week the bigger picture is this is not a pay rise and in line with inflation i, you, we will now be worse off than we were 5 years ago.Lounge Lizard wrote:Not overpaid, but plus 2% plus £20.60 will work out at £9.62 an hour which is better than many un or semi skilled jobs.![]()

Re: Overpaid and Underworked
I believe Royal Mail have implemented a wage rise before, without our agreement .Lincox wrote:Lounge Lizard, have you some sort of foresight to know that the deal will be accepted and RM will be paying the new rates from next month?

Re: Overpaid and Underworked
Maybe they can implement a wage rise, but they cannot implement a wage decrease without notification and agreement

Well the SWW will not appear in next months pay LL maybe not even next years.
Shorter Working Week
To be implemented in all Delivery Units in line with the Walk Sequencing revision.
